I'm taking a more gentle careful approach with this suzuki haha
I'm hoping the keys I've bought were the right ones, I tried prying it out with a small screwdriver but not much luck

Here is the key on eBay...

As soon as I've checked it and if there is enough space I'll be ordering my double din :D

Hi I never used radio keys to get mine out. Unscrew the console facia,one screw above the radio two behind the ash tray. Facia comes off possible with the ashtray heat sheild. Clock,pocket and player are then held in a plastic frame which is screwed to the dash it should all pull out. Note the ashtray light may come adrift clock plug can be a fiddle, so can unplugging the radio and aerial and remove the pocket, clock and radio altogether. Once out you can push the fixing tabs back from the radio chassis and remove the lot, the pocket and clock comes off frame leaving the correct 2 din aperture to take a new chassis. Hope this helps
:D

Thank you!

Will have a look and see if I can do that, would like to take the whole facia off anyway so I can either sticker bomb it or vinyl wrap it...
